Santiago Marathon 2027 in Chile on 16 May

CHILE · SPORT

Maratón de Santiago 2027 inscripción is open at maratondesantiago.cl for the 42K, 21K and 10K races through the streets of Santiago, Chile, on Sunday 16 May 2027.

Chilean and resident entries cost CLP 48,300 to CLP 63,250 (about US$49 to US$64), depending on distance. Non-resident foreigners pay roughly double, from about US$115 for the 10K to US$138 for the marathon, so check which rate applies to you in Chile before you pay.

What the race is

The Maratón de Santiago is Chile’s big city road race. It takes over the streets of the capital with three distances: the full 42K marathon, a 21K half marathon and a 10K.

The organiser’s pre-sale coverage calls the 2027 edition the “Itaú Maratón de Santiago 2027”, with Banco Itaú as main sponsor. Places are limited.

The organiser’s quotas, as reported by The Clinic and Radio Agricultura, are 11,000 for the 42K, 16,000 for the 21K and 7,000 for the 10K.

Prices: the resident rate and the foreigner rate

Pricing is the main thing expats need to understand. The race has two tiers, and the cheaper one is not only for Chilean citizens.

Bloomberg Línea reports that the resident rate applies to Chileans and to foreigners who live in Chile. For residents, the 42K costs CLP 63,250 (about US$64).

The 21K costs CLP 58,650 (about US$60) and the 10K costs CLP 48,300 (about US$49). Those dollar figures use a rate of roughly CLP 982 to US$1, which is our own estimate from the press numbers, not an official rate.

Non-resident foreigners pay more. The press reports CLP 135,462 for the 42K (US$138), CLP 124,174 for the 21K (about US$126.50) and CLP 112,885 for the 10K (US$115).

That is roughly 2.1 to 2.3 times the resident price. All prices include a 15% service fee.

Even at the higher rate, Bloomberg Línea notes that the US$138 marathon fee sits well below big overseas races such as New York, London or Berlin. We have not checked those comparison figures against the other races’ own sites.

How to register, step by step

General sale opened at 12:00 on Thursday 15 October 2026 at maratondesantiago.cl. Bloomberg Línea also reports a pre-sale on 14 October for Itaú customers, though we could not confirm it on the official site.

The official site has separate registration links for Chileans and residents, and for foreigners. Pick the one that matches your status, because the price depends on it.

The form asks for your full name, ID or RUN, birthdate, sex, nationality, address, phone, email, emergency contact and estimated finish time. A race-time certificate is needed when applicable, according to Radio Agricultura.

We could not find how the organiser defines “resident” or what proof it asks for, such as a Chilean ID card or visa. Read the official rules before you pay, and write to the organiser if you are unsure.

The organiser has not published a sales closing date; places are limited by quota.

Rules, cut-offs and age limits

Runners must be 18 or older for the 42K and 21K. The 10K is open from age 16, and under-18s need parental authorisation.

The official cut-off times are 6 hours for the marathon, 3 hours for the half marathon and 2 hours for the 10K. Be realistic about your pace when you enter your estimated finish time.

Your entry is personal. The site says “Tu inscripción no se vende, cede ni transfiere”, meaning it cannot be sold, ceded or transferred.

If you might not make it, do not count on passing your bib to a friend.

Race weekend in Santiago

Kit pickup runs from Thursday 13 to Saturday 15 May 2027 at Estación Mapocho, the former railway station in central Santiago that now serves as a cultural and events venue. Bring your ID and your registration confirmation.

Past editions started on the Alameda in front of the Palacio de La Moneda, the presidential palace in the city centre. Start times for 2027 have not been confirmed.

The 2027 start point and route have not been confirmed either, so confirm them with the organiser at maratondesantiago.cl closer to the date. Book your Santiago accommodation early, ideally near the centre, so you can reach the start without relying on traffic.

Late May is autumn in Chile, so check the forecast the week before and pack for a cool morning.
